"... An important objective of the Semantic Web is to make Electronic Commerce interactions more flexible and automated. To achieve this, standardisation of ontologies, message content and message protocols will be necessary. In this paper we investigate how Semantic and Web Services technologies can be ..."

be used to support service advertisement and discovery in ecommerce. In particular, we describe the design and implementation of a service matchmaking prototype which uses a DAML-S based ontology and a Description Logic reasoner to compare ontology based service descriptions. By representing the semantics

"... The widespread deployment of inexpensive communications technology, computational resources in the networking infrastructure, and network-enabled end devices poses an interesting problem for end users: how to locate a particular network service or device out of hundreds of thousands of accessible se ..."

services and devices. This paper presents the architecture and implementation of a secure Service Discovery Service (SDS). Service providers use the SDS to advertise complex descriptions of available or already running services, while clients use the SDS to compose complex queries for locating

"... Biobanks are well-organized resources comprising biological samples and associated information that are accessible to scientific investigation. Across Europe, millions of samples with related data are held in different types of collections.While individual collections can be well organized and acces ..."
